Summary:This paper reports a new technology of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). It uses a solar cell panel array to form a whole building roof to replace traditional southern slope roof. The advantage of the proposed approach over more common adopted rooftop systems is the lower cost, better blend and more aesthetically appealing. This technology has been successfully applied in the demonstrating PV projects located in Shandong, Shanxi and Heilongjiang provinces in China as a new alternative to traditional roof construction, and proved to be an effective building energy technology with an extremely wide range of application values.
